Did you know that the silver fillings in your teeth might contain mercury? For many years, mercury amalgam was a popular choice for dental work, but times have changed. Today, more people are aware of the health risks linked to mercury, and many are choosing safer, more modern options.
At Assure a Smile, we take your health seriously. Our Miami dental team understands the concerns around mercury exposure. When mercury fillings are disturbed, such as during chewing or if a tooth breaks, they can release vapors that are harmful to your body. Even small, ongoing exposure can lead to serious health issues over time.
If you have older metal fillings and are thinking about mercury filling removal, it’s important to work with a team that puts your safety first. At Assure a Smile, we follow a strict protocol to ensure that the removal process is as safe and comfortable as possible. Using protective equipment, high-speed suction, and advanced air filtration systems, we minimize exposure to mercury during the procedure.
Once the old fillings are removed, we replace them with biocompatible materials that are safer for your body and look more natural, too. These tooth-colored alternatives blend seamlessly with your smile and support your overall wellness.
Mercury fillings were once the norm, but today, healthier and safer alternatives are available. Whether you’re already experiencing issues or simply want to take a proactive step for your health, our team is here to guide you.
